USPC "New York City" Playing Cards, c.1915

Collectibles : Playing Cards U.S : Uspc Souvenir

 

Excellent souvenir deck of "New York City" views by United States Playing Card Co., c.1915, gold gilt in the original telescope box. The backs are of the Statue of Liberty surrounded by a white border, and the face of each card is a New York City scene in an oval frame. There are 52 cards, plus 1 Joker, and an unbacked insert card with auction bridge and 500 scoring. The insert card is copyright 1906, but Dawson/Hochman date this deck to 1915, and I have done likewise. This is a wide deck, measuring 90mm x 64mm.

The cards are "as new" in near mint condition with gold gilt intact, and the box is in very good condition, with signs of age and wear, but without structural damage or weakness of any kind.
